LYRICS
it’s tough out there whether you single or not
feel right but then rub your temple and stop
enter a shock or pretend that you’re not
you roam all alone taken every option
how come it’s so hard to find love
how many do before their time’s up
some grow cold and fold their life up
i do it all the time when i think that life sucks
it’s shaky ground i don’t really know you
let’s keep it real about the things we go through
like how you got baggage from your old dude
and i know i got flaws that ain’t so cool
take a leap of faith in the riddle of my eyes
i’m a moon all alone in the middle of the sky
we 2 broken hearts who can mend together
and if we give it all we could mend forever
- CHORUS -
it’s a new love
what can we do love
we’re going through what
opens you up
cuz it’s a new love
a total new love
when it’s through love
i hope it’s you love
- DEREK -
something bout you changes my attitude
you take old nostalgia and make it brand new
cuz you teleport me to my boyz ii men days
so much i’m tempted to record and make you a corny mix tape
it feels like we’re in high school and you are my boo
and the only way i know how to rock is beside you
like ross and rachel tom collins and angel
we’re a fuzzy sitcom love crossed with a broadway musical
cuz you’re the closest i’ve ever had to feeling so surreal
i think it’s raining candy canes quote soul 4 real
and you’re so down to earth always down to nerd out
we’re a nerd match in heaven girl this could work out
it’s been so many years since i’ve felt this up high
felt this much trust and felt this much inspired
you’ve given a hopeless romantic hope yet
cuz you’re my homegirl the girl i want to go home with
- THERESA -
against the odds but i’m no mathematician
not in the cards but i’m no black magician
against our god but i don’t know religion
not in the stars but forget the solar system
we’re so resistant but what’s there to lose love
i know it’s new love but you give me goose bumps
forgive my loose tongue i speak too easily
but it seems to me this is what it seems to be
and we’re vietnamese of course i feel ya
love how your name is so phonetically familiar
from the same homeland we got the same symmetry
from the same language where love means injury
and that’s the minute we knew it was dangerous
militant cupid got a cruise missile aimed at us
we could be like whitney houston’s the greatest love
or at least see how beautiful the train wreck was
